《Approaching Ascension (Book 1) [Hiatus before Book 2]》Chapter 042
Advertisement
After shooing away the voyeurs, Fang Hao proudly walked into his cottage and took a nice relaxing simulated shower by splashing cool mugs of water over his body. 'This was a large breakthrough in my Qi Cultivation...still there was barely any gray-black impurities excreted by my body. Guess forming the first seal of the Divine Vajra Body Scripture left my body pure.' thought Fang Hao as he observed his skin before and after bathing.
He then changed into a fresh set of robes and started cultivating in his seclusion room to recover his Qi. He didn't know why, but he felt a certain sense of unease with his depleted Qi after the breakthrough. Despite being awake all night and missing his breakfast, he wasn't feeling particularly sleepy or hungry. While he could probably manage without sleep for a couple of days without any problems due to his cultivation...he felt quite hungry as dusk neared.
After his dusk meal, he didn't have the mood to meditate to slowly recover his Qi. 'The rate at which Qi regeneration is going on, it will take at least another six hours to recover my Qi. I still have a couple of jugs of spirit wine left..and I do need to celebrate my breakthrough.' Fang Hao thought as he convinced himself to use a precious cultivating resource to save a few hours of slow meditation. He retrieved a jug of spirit wine from his cottage and sat outside in his courtyard taking a gulp of the spirit wine. A refreshing citrus-like flavor invaded his senses as he felt a relaxing warmth spread through his body, mainly concentrated in his dantian.
He took a few more gulps of the spirit wine till he started feeling the familiar pressure of excess Qi in his dantian. 'After beating the Qi Condensation Disciple, I still needed around 1400 xp to level up. Now that I have leveled up, let me check my status.' thought Fang Hao as he gave a mental command to display his status screen.

Fang Hao carefully scanned his status screen, and he saw quite a few changes, both expected and unexpected. 'I thought I would be level 11...but looks like I am back at level 1! My realm did change to Qi Condensation. I needed a total xp of roughly 40,000 to levelup to Qi Condensation 1...but somehow my breakthrough provided me with around 48,000 xp. So I gained roughly 10,000 experience from my breakthrough, way more than forming my first seal. And what si with the huge increase in skill points? Well more xp and skill points is always good, so I won't complain...'
'My stats look solid though. My Spirit finally exceeded 10 and my Qi is a nice round figure after quite a while. As expected, I have a new entry in my Manuals and Scriptures section. But what is that (+) thingy next to it? Is the Aura Fist Manual a higher level scripture or did I somehow improve it?' Fang Hao deliberated quite a bit on the meaning of the (+) sign next to his Aura Fist Manual entry. He finally came at a tentative conclusion that it something to do with the vibration and pulses he had somehow incorporated while practicing it. He hoped it was a positive change as the xp earned and skill points gained indicated...though he didn't exactly have a reliable benchmark for that.

'Well + means more and more of something you want is better, right? Anyways...spells! I finally have a spell! Aura Infusion should be as described in the Aura Fist Manual, and I guess Basic is the proficency of the spell. Perhaps I can use skill points to increase my proficiency? Let me try.' Fang Hao got exited at the possibility of finally using skill points and mentally exclaimed 'use Skill points'. A new translucent window popped into his sight.

'So looks like I can use my skill points to upgrade my spells and techniques. But then again Skill Points are most probably a limited resource and I shouldn't waste them now. Who knows I might be lacking just 2 points to upgrade some OP spell like star shattering finger or whatever. Besides, I think I should practice the spell and see how long ti takes to upgrade it the hard way. I will experiment on which command will use skill points to upgrade Aura Infusion...' Fang Hao's train of thought was halted as the row with Aura Infusion (Basic) glowed briefly and the window disappeared.
'Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't even intend to upgrade that spell... but 'Use Skill Points to upgrade Aura Infusion' actually upgraded it?' The window appeared again.

The only option glowed briefly and the window disappeared. 'I am a fucking retarded dumbfuck. Good job wasting 6 skill points, 1/6th of your total skill points on unintended upgrades! Your presence of mind really astounds me...such absolute genius!' Fang Hao cursed himself as he checked his status screen again.

'At least I know that after 'Basic' comes 'Intermediate' and after that comes 'Expert'. And the skill points increase after each upgrade.' Fang Hao quickly checked Use skill Points to check that the next upgrade had a cost of 06 SP. 'At least SP cost isn't doubling every upgrade. Now let me see what spells the shitty looking coin pouch has for me.'
